The large expanse of white, the bit of the doorway (?), the brass/gold window grate (or whatever it is) the font, and the color of the text on the cover... it all says screams "exotic tale from a foreign land."<br /><br />The one-liner, if it is "The front line of the refugee crisis" does not grab me, but that might be just me. It bothers me that it's not a complete sentence but then, I'm a third grade teacher, so I might be overly-picky about that sort of thing. As far as the blurb, I like the ordinary sound of the final sentence, and the whole blurb makes me want to read it. You might consider another verb besides "pulled." Sucked? Lured? Conned? I don't know the plot, so I'm not sure what verb would work. Of course, it's just a suggestion...<br /><br />Good luck. For you and for the Syrians, I hope you snag the most votes. Will you let us know when the voting opens up?Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868883626672897364.post-63046644834627403712016-04-18T15:00:50.429-07:002016-04-18T15:00:50.429-07:00I think the blurb is great as-is.
